JtoJ Director Carrie Supple and JtoJ Liverpool project manager Tamla Parris-Bah spoke about how delighted we are to be there and Tamla outlined our plans for projects with local partners. Her daughter Nirvana and community activist Michelle Charters cut a JtoJ blue ribbon to declare the exhibition open until April 7th 2019. Guests came from across the community &#8211; artists, activists and teachers. The team at the museum worked hard to make sure everything was in place, co-ordinated by Exhibitions Officer Manto Psarelli. Our stories look great and it was a pleasure to welcome one of the people we feature &#8211; Marcia Saunders, a voter registration worker in the American civil rights movement.<\/p>\n<p>The local section is, as always, key to the exhibition. On display are vibrant zines from <em>Over Here Zine Fest<\/em>, focusing on the work of Black, Asian and BAME zine makers, artists, writers and activists. \u00a0\u2018Of Rights and Resistance\u2019 displays artworks as an outcome of a collaboration between ISM and the Graphic Design and Illustration department at Liverpool John Moores University in response to the Museum\u2019s civil rights and legacies of slavery collections. The contemporary activist movement is explored through the works and voices of activists and artists in Liverpool, generated by the Sankofa Project which explores the experience of the Black community who continue to challenge injustice.<\/p>\n<p>Visitors can hear interviews with two remarkable Liverpool women. Michelle Charters is CEO of Kuumba Imani Millenium Centre and she talks about the importance of dialogue, education and history, paying moving tribute to Dorothy Kuya who was such a role model. Michelle Peterkin-Walker Founder and Director of Akoma Arts describes the transforming effect on housing, employment, greening and the arts of collective and determined action by people in Granby.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cActivism has a powerful and unifying ripple effect which means the impact of figures such as Dr Martin Luther King Jr. are still evident today, in this Museum, in this city and beyond. It\u2019s a privilege to be working with campaigners like Janice Wesley and Marcia Heinemann Saunders. They blazed a trail but would likely call themselves ordinary. We hope to inspire the visitors through their stories and the practical information in this exhibition. This isn\u2019t about giving people all the answers &#8211; it\u2019s giving them the inspiration and the knowledge. Know your cause, find your campaign, and explore your options and your way of doing things. Then get out and mobilise.\u201d\u00a0Jean-Francois Manicom<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re looking forward to working with Stef Bradley, Education Manager and Adam Duckworth, Education Demonstrator based at ISM&#8217;s Anthony Walker Education Centre and hearing about the programme of complementary events they have organised.<\/p>\n<p>We were bowled over to hear there were 3,300 visitors in the first three days of opening!<\/p>\n<p><strong data-rich-text-format-boundary=\"true\">To see Liverpool JtoJ stories visit:<br data-rich-text-line-break=\"true\" \/><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/jtojhumanrights.org.uk\/local-stories\/liverpool\/\"><strong>https:\/\/jtojhumanrights.org.uk\/local-stories\/liverpool\/<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #219fda;\"><em>&#8220;Journey to Justice tells the stories of everyday people, the unsung heroes, who quietly change lives by the actions they take \u2013 an excellent inspirational exhibition, thank you for inviting me.&#8221;<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em>Mary Beaumont CEO Greenbank College who attended the launch with its Founder Gerry Kinsella MBE.
